What is the difference between a Registered Dietitian (RD) and a nutritionist?

A Registered Dietitian (RD or RDN) is a credentialed healthcare professional with extensive training and supervised practice. The term "nutritionist" is not regulated, and therefore, an RD provides evidence-based, reliable nutrition advice.
